The floppy drive in your notebook computer is smaller, but more power-efficient,
than a floppy drive in a desktop computer. To get the best performance from your
floppy drive use high-quality floppy disks, such as those available at http://www.e-
additions.com.

The computer is shipped from the factory with both a floppy drive and a CD-ROM
or DVD-ROM drive included.
